After open rehearsals we're singing 81 voices strong, with over 20 singers who weren't with us last year! With these numbers, we plan to hit the stages with even more of the energy, heart, activism, and incredible music you've come to expect from Reveille!  We'll be bringing back some old favorites and some great new tunes too!

We've also got exciting news "backstage:" As hard as they work, our volunteers can't do it all, so Reveille's hiring a new staff member!  We're looking for a talented individual to help support our fundraising and communication efforts as our new part-time Executive Director.  If you know someone (including yourself) who is passionate about our music and mission and has the experience and skills to help us grow, send 'em our way!
email: manager@reveillemenschorus.org

How can you join in on the fun? 

• Look for us onstage at Tucson Pride and other community events later this month! We love helping our community celebrate!
• Check out our spook-tacular "CaBOOret" fundraiser (October 19th) featuring some of your Reveille faves as well as great guest artists and some scary good deals at our silent auction!  (Tickets now available at our website! Get 'em while they're hot!) 
• Save the date for our holiday show "Our Favorite Things", December 14 and 15th! 
• Volunteer! As a 501(c)3 Arts organization, volunteers are at Reveille's heart. We can use friendly faces in the lobby as well as folks with skills in everything from marketing to budgets to policies to join our committees!  If you're willing to help, reach out! We'd love to talk to you.

This is my 12th season with Reveille and I have to say: I'm so excited by what we've got in store. I can't wait for you to be a part of it!

Board President (and singer)

Relics and Their Humans

SEP 19-20 | Centennial Hall Stage

 

"incantatory reanimation of

fragments of the past"

Do you enjoy immersive storytelling that transports you to different spaces, places, and times? What about the uniquely mesmerizing productions of The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart, Dimanche, or Bedtime Stories? Join us next week for captivating theatre with Relics and Their Humans. Part podcast, part performance, this moving experience uses visual and musical relics to tell the story of the Quillen family.

 

Uplifting and positive, Relics and Their Humans was produced—in part—during a creative residency at the University of Arizona by legendary three-time Obie Award-winning, Guggenheim Fellow Ain Gordon and percussionist Josh Quillen (Sō Percussion). Journey along as you're taken on this personal story of love, loss, and connection guided by recorded interviews, journal entries, and a 17 track playlist. This may just be the most beautiful piece of theatre you will ever see for just $30.

Zack Armstrong
13 Tales to Fright and Delight

Company member and Comedy School teacher, Zack Armstrong is also published author, Z.A. Armstrong. His current project, 13 Tales to Fright and Delight, is being released serially and exclusively on Kindle Vella. It's a frame story of spooky tales. Description below:

"Great-grandmother died on my 13th birthday, so I never heard the 13th tale." 

A great-grandmother in hospice weaves eerie stories for her nearly 13-year-old great-granddaughter. But are the stories connected? Is there a deeper meaning somehow connected to the weird occurrences at great-grandmother's house? The stories couldn't be as true as she claimed what with ghosts, evil faeries, and cosmic terrors. Perhaps the 13th tale would have settled all these unanswered questions. But what is the 13th tale?

Access the story free on Kindle, Amazon, or at this link. Follow Zack @zackataca!

 

 

 

 

Come try out improv in a fun safe environment at the Jam Friday at 6:30pm!  Then stay for the Soapbox for just $5!

Zach Wetzel presents DEMOCRACY SUICIDE

DEMOCRACY SUICIDE

Oct 24th - Nov 3rd, 2024 MST

Unscrewed Theater, Tucson, AZ

 

 

Written by Ryan Costella
Directed by Zach Wetzel

Tik tok, tick tock...

Right and Left grow more polarized and extreme by the day.

While they know the current path will be fatal, Reason sits in agony, paralyzed in a cloud of disengagement. 

Tyranny's plan is coming to fruition, stoking the fires of extremism and hooking Reason to the drug of apathy.

Soon authoritarianism will win the day, and democracy will die.

With election season upon us, this provocative production rises above the noise and rouses the audience to look deeply within themselves to act and prevent tragedy.

PREVIEW: October 24 @ 7 PM
OPENING MATINEE: October 27 @ 2 PM
OPENING NIGHT: October 27 @ 7 PM
CLOSING MATINEE: November 3 @ 2 PM
CLOSING NIGHT: November 3 @ 7 PM
